Donald Trump was asked on the Today Show which bathroom at Trump Tower Caitlyn Jenner should use.

Trump didn’t limit himself to Caitlyn, and broadly proposed that businesses would be discriminating if they provide a separate (presumably non-gendered) bathroom. Trump also complained that a separate bathroom would be too expensive for businesses.

Meanwhile, here is Cruz (published March 21,2016) telling us how he will win on the first vote…

On Special Report tonight, Ted Cruz called John Kasich a spoiler and said his remaining in the race just doesn’t make sense. When asked why he’s staying in, Cruz suggested he may be auditioning to be Trump’s VP.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Reuters) – U.S. Republican officials began meeting on Wednesday, a day after Donald Trump’s crushing victory in a New York presidential nominating contest, and said he has been winning growing acceptance within their ranks – but they want to see the billionaire do more to mend fences with the party establishment.

Get back to me when you have a story that says Trump is taking millions of dollars from lobbyists to fund his campaign the way Cruz takes millions from Goldman Sachs and the globalist mega donors.

All you got here is somebody who once represented the president of the phillipines, a guy who died 20 or 30 years ago, is providing some ground game support as an adviser. Whoa how terrible. 20 or 30 years ago this guy I nce worked for tge president of the phillipines. Then you’ve got another adviser who once worked for the evil Koch Brothers. Scarry stuff.

Like I said, get back to me when you have Trump doing lije Cruz and taking millions of dollars from lobbyists.

It doesn’t matter. Cruz has no path to a first ballot victory anymore. The party will fall behind Trump as the nominee after he sweeps next week’s primaries. Trump will win on the first ballot. The party outreach efforts by Manafort and Wiley will pay off – allowing insiders access to Trump that they never had.

Cruz and his Ted Heads can’t seem to see that his candidacy has ended. Ted is out there lying left and right – ruining whatever future he had in the party. He is never going to be the nominee – no matter what his campaign leaks to the media. It’s all fluff now.

keep telling your self that if it helps you trumpsters sleep at
night … Trump will not win on the first ballot
then it becomes a dog fight … me I am buying the popcorn
and frozen chocolate Concession stand

Trump was one of the people buying politicians! The only reason he’s not taking money from crony capitalists is HE’s ONe Of THEM. Also, where’s the evidence that Cruz is bought bar Goldman Sachs? Jus because his wife worked for them? Or because he got a loan from them which he paid off? If that’s the case then Trump must be in cahoots with all of the banks he previously got loans from in order to build his casinos. If that’s your argument it goes both ways.

But, as a caring citizen I can sell interested parties a large polyethylene Trump Porta-Potty Mouth with an ad “absurdum sign” for all comers. I suggest placing it in full view of anxious cross-legged LGBT-ers.

You won’t have to make another expensive change until the next Fundamental Transformation.

I’m waiting for the Trumpet gallery to help us understand their man’s view on this. We have all known that the man is as phony as a three dollar bill but for some unknown reason, his worshipers have held out hope that we are all wrong. This declaration, like his punishment for women who have an abortion and the “Good things” that Planned Parenthood do are the real Trump’s views. Since he hasn’t answered many other serious questions with such clarity, we have to assume that there are many more of these jewels awaiting discovery. If ANY Republican came out and said these things he would be called a traitor by the base. But not Trump. Why?

See Gary Britt, above, for your answer: You are demonstrating smallness by asking such a question. You are supposed to discuss only those phony issues that Trump raises. Why haven’t you gotten the message, which has been made so clear that even Hannity understands it?

Cruz’s refusal to deny his father was passing out leaflets with Lee Harvey Oswald 3 months before Kennedy assassination …

The fact that you keep repeating that ridiculous meme even after you’ve been comprehensively pantsed over it on this very blog just confirms that you are not a serious person. You’re a troll in the purest sense. Albeit a pantsless one.

But, but what about the five women Cruz was having an affair with? Isn’t that so much more important than his dad 60 years ago? Oh wait!
Cruz is a liar, like in “Lyin Ted” because Trump said so and then all of you mouthets repeat it everyday, over and over so it must be true right? I’ll bet that in a few days the National Enquirer will come out with a picture of Ted and an alien from Mars shaking hands on the cover. Why don’t you go back just ONE SINGLE year in TRump’s life, not his father’s or his mother’s lives, to see what he was saying then? I dare you, go ahead and look it up.

Of Lee Harvey Oswald and an unidentified male hispanic. In fact my wife’s dad and brothers could be accused of being that person also. I just love how you try to deflect stories about Trump that have proven facts in them with allegations that can’t be proven.

“Cruz’s refusal to deny his father was passing out leaflets with Lee Harvey Oswald 3 months before Kennedy assassination makes people think its true. Why won’t Cruz deny it?

I’m really surprised that you haven’t mentioned all the times that The Donald has talked about how his uncle was best buds with Jack Ruby and he used to go over to their place and play with his kids all the time. He knew all the Ruby kids. Used to do all sorts of things with them. All the time. Played with Jack Ruby’s kids. All the kid. Lots of fun. Very Patriotic man. One of the best. Great man. Helped with making America great again. All the time. Lots of fun. Very patriotic. That really cements his connection to the murder of JFK. In fact, The Donald and his uncle’s friend Jack Ruby, they called him Mr. Ruby, used to go target shooting together. All the time. Great kids. Great fun. Great American. Let’s make America Great Again. Build the wall.

Exactly how old was Ted Cruz when this supposedly happened? This is way before I was born and Im pretty sure he’s around my age. Posting stupid shit like this is akin to apologizing for slavery or anything else someone did years before you were born.
I’m not voting for Ted Cruz’s father.

The biggest handicap Trump has for me is that he’s perfectly ok with seizing private property for business use. That has to tell you something.

I am a Christian conservative fighting to maintain a culture of conservative social (and financial) values, values born of a Judeo-Christian worldview, values proven to be of great lasting worth time and again.

A Trumpian worldview is of no lasting value. It is an adolescent tantrum.

Trump is a manic political contortionist who is exceedingly desperate to be liked.

Trump is excess, excessive and exceedingly the wrong moral choice for America on every issue.

Problem is, there are more throwing a tantrum in this country than have in a few generations. You add up the Bernie supporters and Trump supporters and it might be a small majority if not a strong plurality who want to “shake it up”, without much thought.

It looks as if we are facing a choice of two fundamentally immoral people this November. Perhaps the only reasons I like Male Vanity Hairdooooooo more than Shrillary Shroooooooo is because he makes no pretense about being moral, while Shrillary Shroooooooo is downright sanctimonious; and that MVH only pays the bribes while ShrShr takes them.

Wow! Talk about rationalizing a liberal viewpoint! If you have little girls then you send them into Trump’s open gender bathrooms and see who talks to them or takes pictures under the stall walls. We will all wait for your next rationalization of the next liberal comment from your orange idol.

I fully expect that if Trump gets the nomination he will run to Hillary’s left to try to pick off Bernie supporters who are angry with her. He knows from the Republican primary that the cult he’s created is impervious to reason. They will stick with him no matter what. So all he has to do is pick off a sizeable chunk of Hillary’s left flank and he can win. It just has to be larger than the conservatives who will: 1) view Hillary as more conservative and vote for her; 2) stay home; or 3) vote Garry Johnson or write in Ted Cruz. In other words, the general election will resemble another Democratic primary – except the Republican establishment who pretend to oppose him now will be trying to help Trump win so they can continue feeding off the largesse.

I just didn’t think he would start exposing himself as a fraud on economic and social conservative issues until the general election campaign started. I guess he believes the nomination is secure so he can start re-inventing his Democrat persona now.

I don’t think he will have to necessarily move left. All he will have to do is continue to talk about things being ‘rigged’ and how Wall Street does need to be more fair like he has. Doesn’t need to get into the Bernie “take their stuff” talk. Many of the Bernie cult simply want to punish people who have done well. I doubt most of them would distinguish between a 5% tax increase or a 50% tax increase. They just want the rich to be the boogeyman.

The LGBT community has mastered the art of both creating division within the GOP and creating faux-issues that cause the party to lose a few votes. It has been going on for at least a decade, and with the aid of the media is alive and fully productive (for the community). The GOP always takes the bait, too.

This is the weirdest election in my memory. Because Trump is in I at least have some confidence (or is it just hope?) that he can resist all of the false-narrative building from activists. So I REALLY hope this doesn’t become the bathroom election like past elections have been the marriage elections. Or rape elections, or whatever.

As myself and others commented in the other threads, the progressives attack the social conservatives on these social issues like bullies, because they know the conservatives will not fight back.

The progressives don’t attack people who will fight back, such as Muslims. Ultimately the progressives do care about money, but when your opponent doesn’t fight back you can have both.

Republican voters have got to stop virtue signalling and actually fighting for their issues, or they will continually get rolled by bullies. Politicians who will not fight but solicit votes as virtue signalling are despicable scum.

Not sure if it is a problem of virtue selling as you say. The GOP has a dichotomy to me. Many want candidates for office to display they are “principled” whenever challenged. Whether that is a good or bad thing (it can go both ways, situation depending), the LGBT activists in particular have leveraged that to their benefit in a big way. And the media is the biggest helper in that. They simply LOVE to ask the gotcha questions requiring the candidate to either look uncommitted or to preen themselves as being principled. And the topics and matters are usually very deftly chosen so the “principled” answer can do damage.

On another easy target – Notice there are few questions about late term abortion, but plenty about rape and incest. You take the wrong position, and you risk losing all but the most ardent pro-life advocates. And every now and then, a gift is given from idiots like Todd Aiken, to pick one example.

So you concede the point of Trump being nothing but a collectivist lying progressive. If he was a true conservative, the one that can stand up to the establishment media and others, he would take the position of being AGAINST this ludicrous view of bathroom policy. (So sad that we now must refer to Bathroom Policy as a national issue.)

I am now #NeverTrump and #NeverKasich. Their moral cowardice when facing a radical activist agenda will destroy freedom in Anerica. Only Cruz had the common sense and moral courage to stand against this.

Pretty much my thoughts when I watched the video. Trump merely refused to be drawn into a hypothetical and stated who is using what bathroom hasn’t been a problem yet so no need to pass laws about something tgat isn’t yet a problem. Also no need for law requiring businesses to add a third bathroom since it isn’t a problem yet.

As you say he was smart not to let them draw him in to this hypothetical debate so the press could spend the next week talking about nothing else. He is thinking about the general election since he is the presumptive nominee.

This is a state and local issue unless and until congress passes a law about bathroom use. No need for presidential candidate to get drawn into this until republicans in congress show they have the backbone to actually pass a law on tbis issue.

Sidestep the issue all you want and dismiss criticism of your god on technicalities, but the fact remains that he–personally–supports it. Personally. That would make a person of reasonable intelligence consider what policies he would support as President and what appointments he would make as President.

I’m not arguing it is a federal issue. I’m just saying it is a state and local issue and not a Presidential issue unless and until congress tried to pass a law about it.

As to your specific question, personally I don’t see an interstate commerce power applicable to this, but I’m no expert. Again I’m no expert but possibly it is a civil rights issue under various federal laws and/or the 14th amendment, etc.

You know what, though? Evangelical voters across the south had a choice in the primaries. They made their choice. Let them live with the consequences now. Besides, Trump atoned to his base in this same interview when he said that Andrew Jackson, who had “a great history,” should be left on the $20 and Harriet Tubman should instead be put on the $2 dollar bill (in place of … Thomas Jefferson?), which no one uses. (The “Today” crew should have asked Trump to name one thing about Jackson’s history that he considers “great.” That would have been a fun answer.) Replacing Jackson with Tubman is “pure political correctness,” he claimed, but he’s got it backwards. Removing Jackson from the $20 in favor of Tubman is defensible on the merits, and something many anti-Trump Republicans have received warmly. This image is making the rounds on social media; “Treasury throws founder of the Democratic Party off $20 bill, replaces with gun-toting Republican,” quipped Dave “Iowhawk” Burge. It’s Trump’s transgender answer, which bows to the left’s identity movement du jour expressly from fear of economic reprisals, on the day after ESPN purged Curt Schilling for mocking it, that’s PC. But as usual, he knows his base and understands that defending Jackson would appeal to its various constituencies — Jacksonians, “cultural conservatives” who see any “diversity” gesture as “PC,” traditional reactionaries, and alt-righters. That’ll probably get him off the hook for the transgender answer.

Yep. Der Donald has a mighty queer idea of what’s “PC”.

Example: “We have to take care of the women”. Which is NOTHING BUT PURE PC, and astoundingly condescending in the bargain.

But more often Trump uses politically incorrectness as an applause line, or as cover for saying ridiculous things. Trump isn’t a politically incorrect warrior. He’s a leftist. He’s always been a leftist. But he slathers that leftism with the gooey incoherent gravy of his “politically incorrectness,” and his supporters cheer.

I think it may be going too far to say T-rump “champions” those things.

I think that it’s evident he doesn’t mind those things, and you can find lots of evidence all through his life that he’s supported those who DO “champion” those things, maybe out of pure utility, as he sees it.

What exactly is the excitement here? Trans persons have been using whichever bathroom seems most appropriate to them for years. Most of us don’t know about that … and there’s no reason we should. It’s not like there’s a trumpet fanfare every time a person of confused sexual identity has to go.

The physical transition takes a long time. Psychological tests, religious counseling, legal name change, batteries of treatments to eliminate little things like facial hair, a loooooooong time loaded to the eyeballs on drugs, and toward the end, major surgery (usually; not always) … and while this is all going on, we can’t reasonably expect them to “hold it.”

One of the factors that officialdom considers in all this (see “psychological tests” and “religious counseling”, supra) is whether the subject is living day-to-day like a woman (obviously, for m-to-f; I’ve never actually met a f-to-m, though they do exist). And living day-to-day as a woman involves a lot more than avoiding words like “buckshot” and “axle” in day-to-day conversation. At some point during the day, a bathroom does tend to become involved. Fortunately, the business community knows about bathrooms, and already provides them. Since the population concerned is so minuscule, it’s unreasonable to require them to provide dedicated facilities for the confused. So, they use what’s already there … as they’ve been doing for years.

So chill out, already. Jeeez.

As for Trump … I’m not sure where he’s going with the “discriminatory” thing, except in some sense too vague to be of any use. But aside from that? A very sensible answer.

Just more evidence that the clueless Donald Trump has never, ever lived at ground level. Public restrooms are for the great unwashed masses. You think he cares one iota whether or not your daughter has to share a restroom with the squeakiest of our societal misfits? Trumps don’t shit anywhere but on golden toilet seats with attendants ready to hand them warmed towels. His children will never have to wonder about the freak in the next stall with size 13 Nikes. His position on this matter required no thought whatsoever because he simply doesn’t care. This fool has lived his entire life at penthouse level and he makes no attempt to disguise it. He consistently shows you exactly who he is. He has never been a man for the people and is not one now. He is among the elite of America’s elites with little comprehension of life below the penthouse. He not only doesn’t understand what your best interests are, he doesn’t care.

All these attempts to attack Trump fail miserably. Yet you people keep pushing these same old tired memes that all boild down tobthe same argument you all have been making without effect since last June. When will you learn? Apparently never.

This latest trolling by the professor and the cruzbots still boils down to just the same old “but Trump isn’t a pure conservative”.

Yep that is right Trump isn’t a pure conservative and I have said for 9 months THAT DOESN’T MATTER.

It doesn’t matter because this election is NOT about who is most conservative. That is the election of the past.

This election is about:

BUILDING WALL
SECURING BORDER
DEPORTING ILLEGALS
BRINGING JOBS BACK TO USA BY DUMPING THESE STUPID TRADE DEAL TERMS THAT THE PURISTS LIKE CRUZ LOVE.

As long is only candidate who will save tbis country from invasion which he is, THEN NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Wrong. The vital issue is the size and scope of the federal government.

Question to the Trump cultists: What is the line that Trump needs to cross before you admit you’re wrong? I’d wager six months ago, advocating that transgenders use whatever bathroom they feel like on any given day would be one of those lines. Let’s get some answers up front before he crosses another one and you find yourselves defending the indefensible.

Trump was at his most “conservative” months ago. As he edges closer to the nomination, he doesn’t have to sell himself to conservatives anymore, and he will begin selling himself to the lefties. Taking a position like this is just a taste of what’s to come.

That is an issue that is dwarfed by the invasion issue. If the invasion isn’t stopped all other issues are meaningless because our country will cease to exist. Trump is only candidate that will stop invasion. That is why he is immune to everything else.

Are you one of the idiots who thinks we can’t have more border patrol agents because that would mean bigger government !! If we don’t have a country left there won’t be any government big or small. There won’t be any freedom either, unless you think no-government anarchy is freedom. I don’t.

Please explain how smaller government secures the border and builds that wall.

No, I’m not an idiot. Personal attacks may make you feel good, but they don’t address the issues are hand. And setting up straw men that you slay with ease may increase those feel good moments, but, again, they don’t address the issues at hand.

Speaking as a woman living in North Carolina, I hope Trump just lost a lot of votes in the upcoming primaries. Seriously? The law cancels the Charlotte ordinance which would have REQUIRED all “public accommodations” in the county to permit men to go into women’s restrooms. This includes schools, gyms, the Y, public swimming pools, churches, synagogues and restaurants. HB2, the new state law, PERMITS facilities to establish unisex restrooms if they want to but prohibits anyone being REQUIRED to do so. If the sign says “Women” that’s what it means.

The issue of merit is if people with transgender/homosexual, transgender/crossover, transsocial/pedophile, etc. orientations are capable of self-moderating behavior/expression to avoid infringement upon other people’s rights.

That said, unless the transgender spectrum disorder represents a progressive condition in society, civilization, or humanity, it is not equivalent and does not represent the same threat as transhuman/abortionist or reactionary, transhuman/cannibal or planner, etc. and needs to be addressed separately.

“The issue of merit” is this: since gender IS binary AND universal and thinking is mutative – can be anything you want it to be at any time and extremely localized, do laws go with thought mutations or with static physical reality?

While human sex is binary and exclusively determined by genetics, gender is a bias with a narrow normal distribution. People should focus on the State-established pro-choice church sponsorship of corruption and dysfunction through avoidance of reconciliation of moral and natural imperatives and its indoctrination of [surviving] Posterity in anti-science, anti-moral, and anti-human causes.

New York State GOP Chairmain Ed Cox came out Thursday morning endorsing GOP frontrunner, business mogul, and fellow New Yorker Donald Trump after he swept the state in the primary on Tuesday.

“Donald Trump has remarkable potential to not only beat Hillary Clinton, but to restore the American dream by jumpstarting our economy and creating jobs, fixing our nation’s finances and building a strong national defense.” Cox said in a statement regarding the endorsement on Thursday.

That is a *FLASHING* GOPe signal that the war on Trump is a no win scenario; that dawg don’t hunt.

It’s far better for the GOPe to back Trump, in view of ‘Trump’s growing support’ than to fade away with nothing but a failed #NeverTrump hashtag to show for it.

New York State GOP Chairmain Ed Cox came out Thursday morning endorsing GOP frontrunner, business mogul, and fellow New Yorker Donald Trump after he swept the state in the primary on Tuesday.

“Donald Trump has remarkable potential to not only beat Hillary Clinton, but to restore the American dream by jumpstarting our economy and creating jobs, fixing our nation’s finances and building a strong national defense.” Cox said in a statement regarding the endorsement on Thursday.

I know how much you #NeverTrumpers Who Will Vote Hillary Who Will Unisex Every Public Restroom In The Nation hyperventilates over news reports but y’all need to get over it and unify the party and get behind Trump.

NY GOP Chair Ed Cox endorses Donald Trump

“As a newcomer to elected office, Donald Trump has shown remarkable political skill that has energized Americans who have felt disenfranchised by a government that hasn’t worked for them,” Cox said in a statement. “He has a record of cutting through bureaucratic dysfunction and his message to ‘Make America Great Again’ is exactly what we need after two failed terms of President Obama.”

Every false smear you have tried to use against Cruz actually applies to Trump.

1. Trump has sold out to the GOP establishment
2. Trump has lied to the voters
3. Trump says everything, including the wall, is negotiable.

Why don’t you get back to me when you decide to be intellectually honest and hold ALL of the candidates to the same standard. I know you are an emotionally attached voter so I will not expect anything.

The town of Johnstown was devastated by floods not once, not twice, but three times in less than a century. Then came the economic wave that washed away the steel industry, and with it a way of life.

Now a backlash is building in the maple-studded hills of southwestern Pennsylvania. Captured in interviews and confirmed in statewide polls, the sentiment is propelling Donald Trump toward the Republican nomination, and possibly even the presidency of the world’s biggest economy.

Johnstown is dying as a town, and it won’t be coming back because of anything that Der Donald does.

It really died 25 years ago when BIG stupid steel and BIG stupid unions came up against the hard reality that the world was back in business and the U.S. was in competition again.

Just like towns in Kansas and Oklahoma are dying because the farming that used to sustain a much larger work-force is much more efficient now.

America, of course, has adapted. Look up Nucor, which produces steel very competitively in “mini-mills” that are innovative and mostly non-union.

You might look at dinosaurs dying with a degree of sadness, but the reality of the world was they couldn’t compete. Der Donald can’t suspend the laws of economics, and he’s lying if he tells people in Johnstown he’ll fix their plight.

Whenever you feel the need to vomit your Tweeter feed all over this blog, you take up 17 lines to express what could be presented in one simple link, taking up one single line.

While it would be preferable if you would keep your tweets on Tweeter and confine yourself to actual blog comments having something to do with the applicable post on this blog, if you can’t do that, can you not at least stop wasting so much space?

That way, those interested could click on your Tweeter link, and those not interested could quickly and easily scroll past and not have it take up half their iPad screen.

A Rome man was released on bond after being arrested for allegedly taking his clothes off in front of children in the women’s restroom of Walmart in Calhoun.

According to witnesses, Burnes was found in “stages of undress while on the stone floor and would do this in the presence of several young children.”

Police officers arrived to find Burnes wearing a dark woman’s suit including a short skirt and jacket, black leather coat, black high heals, red nail polish, green eye shadow and women’s jewelry. According to the witness, Burnes had been in the women’s section of the store with his skirt “kicked up showing his white girdle and dark thong underwear.”

But who are we to judge, right Mr. Trump? It’s bigoted and stuff to ask that people with penises stay out of ladies’ rooms and not inflict themselves on women and children.

So let me get this straight. This guy violated local state law and was arrested. And Trump said leave the laws the way they are, which effectively supports both the Georgia law and this guy’s arrest. And the problem with what Trump said is …….????

The cruzbots are trying to say Trump said something other than leave the laws the way they are. The cruzbots are trying to lie and say Trump said we need to change the laws to be something the LGBT lefties would want, but Trump didn’t say that. He said leave the laws the way they are.

Maybe the cruzbots are being affected by all the water surrounding them as Cruz’s campaign circles the bowel now that Cruz has been mathematically eliminated.

I have a gay teenage son and here in Florida the transgender bathroom/locker room issue is about to come up in the school district. His take is that those students who identify as transgender should only be allowed in the bathroom that identifies on thieir birth certificate and not open up the door to anyone because they identify as a female one day and a male the next. If my gay teen son thinks this is bad idea, why can’t many adults like Mr. Trump see the same thing?
